What are Backorders and How to Handle it

When an item is on backorder, it means it is currently out of stock but will be delivered as soon as it is back in stock by a certain date. Businesses sell backordered products and guarantee that they will be delivered to buyers.

Backordering a product means that the customer can buy it now and have it delivered at a later date when it is back in stock. Backordering occurs when an item cannot be packed and shipped at the time of ordering due to a lack of physical products in inventory. It distinguishes them from just in-stock and discounted inventory.
